HedgeFondo 2026 — A Premium Gran Fondo and Gravel Fondo in Connecticut's Litchfield Hills
Thank you all for an amazing event!
That’s a wrap on HedgeFondo 2026 — road and gravel through the Litchfield Hills, capped by a proper gathering at Rifugio. Thank you to every rider, sponsor, and volunteer. See you all next year.
The Event
HedgeFondo is a one-day cycling event in Connecticut’s Litchfield Hills—road and gravel routes through some of the best riding in the Northeast, easy to reach from New York and Boston.
The name gives it away—it started as a private ride among investment bankers. It grew by word of mouth, drew over 250 riders in its first public year, and expects hundreds more this season from the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Boston regions.
Everything starts and ends at Rifugio in the Litchfield Hills. Good routes, good food, good coffee, and a place to settle in for the day.
KC&E Adventures runs the event. They’ve been at it for over ten years, with coverage in Forbes, Men’s Journal, Cycling Magazine, Yankee, and Bicycling.
CYCLE Kids Partnership
A portion of every registration goes to CYCLE Kids, a nonprofit that gets kids on bikes and gives them the confidence, health, and focus to thrive in school and in life.
